The shutout streak is over, but the winning streak rolls on.

The Whitman-Hanson girls soccer team surrendered its first goal of the season on Friday, but the Panthers still came out on top, 3-1, against Hanover to improve to 7-0.

Down 1-0 at the break, Whitman-Hanson responded with a big second half.

Following a series of corner kicks, the Panthers tied the score when Nicole Galewski fired a low driven shot into the back of the net off a rebound.

Whitman-Hanson kept pressuring Hanover and got the winner when Alyssa Eaton dribbled past a defender and slotted the ball to a streaking Kelsey Gilbert, who one-timed a shot in to the top right corner.

With 10 minutes remaining, freshman Lindsay Anderson beat her defender around the right side and fired a shot into the top left corner of the net.

Notre Dame 3, Plymouth North 0: Rebecca Quillard put the Cougars on the board in the first half, and Julia Simmons (Milton) scored a goal in each half for Notre Dame (3-2-3). Goalie Grace Pozniak (Cohasset) made two saves for her fifth shutout of the season.
